Fisheye is not broken, but I did incorrectly report what Fisheye reports
when adding new files to a BRANCH.
When a new file is added to a BRANCH, Fisheye sends two emails, one
reports version 1.1 of the new file was deleted from HEAD and the other
reports version 1.1.2.1 was added new on the BRANCH.
As for my ACL issue and not being able to write new files to a BRANCH
due to HEAD being locked down, I think it was caused by the order in
which I setup the ACL's initially.
I removed all ACL's and then reconfigured by locking down HEAD first,
then giving permissions to BRANCH and all works fine now.
I will most likely go back and reconfigure again using your
recommendation of ACLmode=normal, but didn't want to muck with the
majority of my current users at this time.
Thanks for your help!
Terry

Sounds like Fisheye is broken - the e-mail integration included in CVSNT
doesn't have that problem.

You are probably better off using ACLmode=normal (in CVSROOT/config) so
that by default users do not have access so you do not need all the
'nowrite' stuff.
Please try that and use the latest 2.5.04 RC for both clients and
server.

If the problem still exists then we can look into it.
